Best of Times USA Ultimate Portable Bar Review and #Giveaway

Okay so by now you should know we are big entertainers and quite the party'ers in my household. We love preparing all sorts of food and drinks for people in our home to enjoy. Not only have we always talked about finishing our basement with a full bar but we've even dreamed of owning our bar/pub some day. Most of my family either works in the service industry or has at one point in their lives.

We also love to tailgate any time we can and frequently try to throw football parties for any game we can (especially when not in attendance). Our tailgating actually happens throughout the year whenever we can find a reason. Whether its camping, concerts, sporting events, or just an away from home gathering - we are guaranteed to be there grilling food and drinking beer!

I was super excited when I got in touch with the awesome people over at Best of Times USA since they make a few products right up our ally. "The Best of Times Bar is the ultimate piece of party equipment for entertainers from all walks of life. The portable bar is perfect for any occasion, and can be customized with a variety of interchangeable wraps."

The minute we agreed to work together on a review and giveaway, I was quick to tell everyone I knew that this was going to be one of those products they were going to want to have! Of course though with anything that is transportable, we were a bit worried it may end up cheaply made or not as sturdy as we hoped.

This was absolutely not the case! I could not believe when this arrived on my doorstep, how big it was! There were several boxes honestly covering my entire entrance. This was no joke, it was going to be a BIG DEAL! Kevin came home that day from work and had to put it together within seconds of walking in the door.

We expected it might be a big project since it was so large but it literally took maybe 15 minutes to set up once we knew what went where. This is definitely not your average portable bar as it is large enough as well as built sturdy enough to be a permanent accessory to any home. If you decide you want to travel with it, there is a deluxe wheeled travel case for easy transporting.

We of course made furniture adjustments to make room for this right away and began snapping pictures to send off to friends and family! This isn't something that just looks nice online but yet it actually looks better in person! We were beyond impressed with the fact that the boys could sit (or climb on) the bar without it wobbling or fear it might break! Its frame is made from steel so its built to last.

This bad boy has all the prep space you need for tending bar or even makes for a nice little buffet line if you need more table space while tailgating or entertaining at home. It keeps everything you need in one spot and includes a HUGE 6 ft square UV protected Umbrella (so it won't fade). The shelving underneath is not only strong enough to hold quite a bit in weight but is extremely spacious with three levels in an L shape.

You can store anything you so choose from liquor bottles, glassware, paper towels/napkins, snacks, utensils and everything else you would need in a bar! Also included is a built in food grade cooler/ice bin with a zippered cover. This can also be easily removed for emptying and cleaning!

Otherwise I feel like the coolest kid on the block with a shiny new toy to show off to everyone. I cannot wait for our first football tailgate which I know will have peoples attention focused on us as we party it up in a parking lot VIP style for a football game!

Available to purchase/Cost: $698 Ultimate Portable Bar Package Bar without 'Ultimate' accessories can be purchased shipped for $378 out the door as well!**Enter 'Ladybug' at checkout for a 15% Discount!**
Recommendation: Ok so I really want to tell you not to get this so I am the only one with this awesome entertaining piece of furniture but in all honesty that wouldn't be very fair would it!? So yes go grab yourself one! It may seem costly but I have to say this is definitely worth the money. This is worth every penny and then some! You are not going to find anything similar, with such high quality and as easy to use!

*Read my Disclosure

I entered the giveaway under the name Kathleen. I would LOVE to have this set for our backyard mostly. We have BBQ's and really don't have any place for cold drinks or extra seating. That it is so easily carried, it's great for taking to the beach or family reunions, etc.

We host a lot of football game parties in our home. We have a 73 inch TV so everyone always asks to come here to watch the game. This would be so amazing to win for our little get together! My hubby would love it. Plus it is so unique and I already know right where to put it!

I Would Love To Win This Giveaway For My Husband. He Is A Huge Dallas Cowboys Fan And IfHe Were To Get One Of These Portable Bars With His Favorite Team It Would meaMean The World To Him. Even After His Fight With Testicular Cancer He Is Still My Rock And Does ForOthers More Than Himself. Good Luck To Everyone :)

I would love to win this for my husband, he would be so happy and I would be his best friend. He goes tailgating so it would actually be a good way to promote this company when people ask him where he got it at the Jets game

My whole family would enjoy this! I can see lots of food and drinks sitting on this bar with family and friends chatting and laughing and enjoying themselves. I can also see my grand daughter having a lemonade sale in our front yard. Until the tax mans shows up of course LOL!

I would love to have this to give to my mom and dad. It would make their whole year having something like this. They have struggled so much since moms recovery and nascar Jeff Gordon#24 and Ohio State Football is something they thoroughly enjoy. Having this would just make their day when a race or game is on. Thank You for such a great giveaway

We entertain quite a bit and so do our friends. Since it's portable we would love to have this to take and use in friend's backyards since none of us have any bar areas. I really like that it's so sturdy your boys could safely climb on it, I have a climber myself!

This year we were unable to purchase season tickets to the University of Oklahoma football because of my health. I would love to win this so that we can still tailgate and have fun while watching the games at home. Boomer Sooner!

Oh goodness, I came over from one of the other sites to leave a comment and had to laugh. My youngest son would want your bar because he loves the Falcons. lol I just got into my own place with my boys and I would love to get a Vikings one to make my boys and my boyfriend and his suffer when we watch football games together. hahahaha I'm loyal to the Vikings even though they aren't the greatest team and I'm now living in MD.

I'd love to win this for my boyfriend. He follows Jeff Gordon on Nascar and would really like this. His birthday is coming up soon and this would make the perfect gift for him. Maybe I could get him to spend more time outside.

I would love to win simply because my hubby and I and his parents entertain a lot. We entertain mostly at his parents house and we do it for every sunday football game and every college game. This would be amazing for us and our guests!

What an extremely well written review! I have wanted one of these for my son for a long time. I researched this and was pleased with the reviews of customers. Especially the quality. To see that you are witnessing what I have seen really makes me want to spend the money to get him one! Hopefully I can win one, if not, looks like I will be buying him one for Christmas! Hope you enjoy yours for years to come!!

I would choose a custom piece with our last name or the collegiate Michigan piece. I think its wonderful that I can get a custom bar made and will recommend this to my friend who is opening an outdoor bar.

I would love to win this giveaway because I like to entertain and this would be a great conversation piece for indoor and outdoor entertaining! Plus I like the fact that you can take it with you, very unique!

My hubby works out of town a lot, so I would love to win this for him. It would nice for him to come home and party with his friends after being gone for 2 months. I love the bar, sturdy and very functional.
